About this listen

 After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began searching for a job with meaning. Despite having no formal qualifications or experience, she found herself working in palliative care. During the time she spent tending to the needs of those who were dying, Bronnie's life was transformed. Later, she wrote a blog post about the most common regrets that the people she had cared for had expressed to her. The post gained so much momentum that it was viewed by more than three million people worldwide in its first year. At the request of many, she now shares her personal story. By applying the lessons of those nearing their death to her own life, Bronnie developed an understanding that it is possible for everyone, if they make conscious choices, to die with peace of mind. The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing is a delightful memoir and a courageous, life-changing audiobook that will leave you feeling more compassionate and inspired to live the life you are truly here to live.©2012 Bronnie Ware (P)2017 Bolinda Publishing Grief & Loss Personal Development Personal Success Spirituality Heartfelt Inspiring

'It's not hard to see why it has resonated so strongly with so many, why people post it on their Facebook pages, email it to loved ones and talk about it with friends.' (The Sydney Morning Herald)
'Ware writes of the phenomenal clarity of vision that people gain at the end of their lives, and how we might learn from their wisdom.' (The Guardian)

Some books are great to read just because they show off an aspect of human nature that is inspiring and uplifting. Bronnie Ware's story is inspiring. She is inspiring. A person who cares about the world and the people in it. Well put together, and easy to identify with.

Fantastic perspectives and mindsets shared from Bronnie and her interesting life. Such truth shared from these pages. At times found a little wordy for me personally, particularly the first few chapters. But would highly encourage anyone who wants to appreciate the life more and find deeper purpose in their life today to read this now. Thanks for the wonderful work Bronnie !

Must read! 9/10
